Default Automatic to Manual

Planning to convert my 74 from column shift auto to floor shift manual.

Got a line on a pre-71 Muncie and shifter from a 70 GTO. Also located a factory bellhousing & flywheel.

Pressure plate, disc, throwout bearing and pilot bearing would be new.

1) Any idea what shift handle (factory) will work best with this shifter?

2) Will the Turbo 350 driveshaft length be correct?

3) Will the Turbo 350 crossmember work?

4) Everything else is needed. Anyone have lines on the other needed parts?

This is with the 350 right now. when the bigger engine goes in, so will a stronger transmission, driveshaft, etc.

This is what comes to mind:
  • Steering column
  • console
  • shift boot
  • pedals
  • pedal linkage
  • cross shaft
  • pedal trim
  • console gauges
  • clutch fork
  • crossmember (?)
  • backup light switch
  • clutch fork boot

Thanks,

Stuart
